So interesting! My bf was keen to go and I was happy to tag along but this turned out to be the trip highlight. A beautiful venue and a compelling story well delivered by our guide, Immy.

Our expert tour guide made this the best tour of our vacation!!! As a retired architect himself, who worked during his career with the architect that completed the final phase of the Sydney Opera House, our tour guide brought the architecture to life with incredible detail and fascinating stories. Highly recommended!!!

It wad our best tour. Everything was well organised, guide we had was excellent and most importantly we were provided with head sets. This made a big difference to those who were behind in the group and those that had hearing problems.

I thought I had already reviewed this, so apologies if it's a duplicate. But really, what a great experience! We were supposed to have a behind the scenes tour including breakfast, but it was still cancelled as a post-covid thing so our travel agent rescheduled us with this. The guide was excellent and we saw a lot - all three performance halls, which he said was unusual. The building is exquisite, and the history of its development and building is fascinating, with lots of politics involved. A must-see!

We loved the architectural tour and recommend it. Jeanette, our guide, was awesome and shared wonderful stories about the history of the Opera House in addition to info about its structure. We learned about the development of the design, the beams, the tiles, the roof, the acoustics, how it’s built without visible support beams, and more. The headsets provided worked great so we could hear well. The tour went at a good pace, not too fast nor too slow. Loved it!
